Episode Summary

Add/Edit

A radio station is about to be shut down after years of being on the air. Jem makes a deal with the station owner that will turn it into a college-run station funded by Starlight Music. But a rival media mogul that’s determined to buy that station spoils its opening broadcast by hiring the Misfits to air a concert on a pirate signal. The signal source has to be found in order to reclaim the channel before all the sponsors pull out.
